About Catherine
Catherine Cassells is a counsellor who combines a person-centred outlook with practical therapeutic methods. She aims to support and empower people through life’s challenges, helping them make realistic and achievable changes. Catherine works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
Her approach is integrative, rooted in the Person-Centred core conditions while drawing on other methods. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques alongside motivational interviewing and existential ideas. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Catherine has three years of experience and often helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She also supports people facing parenting and family challenges, coping with life changes, and concerns linked to men’s wellbeing. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and money or midlife worries.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens and responds to what the person brings. Therapy aims to build clarity about values, improve everyday coping, and reduce unhelpful patterns. Progress is shaped around the person’s goals and pace.
Clients who want to begin are invited to use the service’s matching process to find a time and book sessions. Catherine works with international clients as well as people across the UK.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Catherine uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to guide her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person’s own goals, creating space for them to find solutions at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a person’s goals, preferences and difficulties and then tailor sessions accordingly. That means techniques may change over time as needs become clearer and progress is reviewed together.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Some people find online meetings reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while others prefer longer sessions for deeper work.
